Chapter 412: Support
"If His Royal Highness goes to General Zhang and Liu Er alone, if the sheep throws himself into the ears of the tiger and wolf, even if they are not held hostage by these two people, it will not be easy for them to deal with it in the future. If Yang Yanzhao is subdued as a confidant first, and Gong Wei guards His Highness to join forces with these two people, although these two people have heavy troops, they cannot harm His Highness at will. The world belongs to Zhao Jiu, Zhang and Liu Erjiang killed Cai Jilong, and Zhao Jiong is already incompatible, and the righteousness is under His Royal Highness, and the only way to achieve a great cause is to bow down and obey orders. ”
Although Yang Yanzhao has no more than 5,000 soldiers, what he represents is the support of the generals of Yang Zhuzhen in Hedong to His Royal Highness, Zhang Yongde and Liu Yanrang have been fighting with the Hedong Army for decades, and they are clear about the strength of each other. If these two people simply conspired against the rebellion, with the courage of Yang Yanzhao, they escorted His Highness to break through and escape. In a hurry, it may not be possible to destroy the Yang family. Zhang and Liu Erjun lost the power of the Son of Heaven to order the princes, there was no righteous name, although the strength of the army, but it was difficult to convince the public, whether they attacked each other or not, the Liao people outside were eyeing each other, and the inner prefecture and county were not convinced, and the chance of success in seeking the dynasty to usurp the throne was only 12 in 12. The world was in turmoil, and the two of them did not get the slightest benefit in the end. Since the opportunities for success or failure are very different, and the righteousness is on His Highness's side, these two will weigh the pros and cons, and only assist His Highness and win the honor of a very human minister. ”
"When Bianliang is restored, His Royal Highness will be crowned a great treasure, and His Royal Highness can confer Zhang Yongde and Liu Yan as high-ranking officials, and let Zhang Yongde stay in Taiyuan and let him go to Hedong to seize the power of Pan Mei's army. The Hedong Army has been fighting with Pan Mei and the Yang family for many years, and Zhang Yongde is difficult to grasp in a hurry, so he can only be loyal to the imperial court. Liu Yanrang was a subordinate of Hebei Zhulu, and there were many generals of the forbidden army in Hebei, and His Royal Highness could vigorously promote him, which not only collected the heart of the forbidden army such as Tian Rejin, Mi Xin, etc., but also made the Hebei army in the upper and lower phases. With these two generals in charge of the overall situation of Hedong and Hebei, coordinate the armies to deal with the Liao State, and have no problem protecting themselves. And let Cao Han stay in Xijing and let him defend the Xia Kingdom into the Kou Pass, Cao Han is a person with great fame, but he is not as ambitious as Zhang and Liu. ”
"In terms of the Beijing Division, a member of the old Mai Su will be the commander of the palace, and Yang Yanzhao will be the commander of the iron cavalry, in fact, let him lead the forbidden army of the Beijing Division, and the foundation of the Yang family is in the northwest, and Yang Yanzhao, who has no wings in the forbidden army, will be used to lead the forbidden army in front of the palace and the two divisions of the guards stationed in Bianliang, which is not easy to cause chaos, and His Royal Highness can slowly use his own henchmen and generals all over the front of the palace. Guarding the various armies, when Zhang Yongde is old, Yang Yanzhao returned to His Royal Highness, and ordered Yang Yanzhao to stay in Taiyuan to stay in the town, he is the northwest general, and when he arrives in Hedong, he will naturally contain each other with Zhang Yongde's old department, ensuring that the army stationed in Tunhedong can only be loyal to the imperial court. ”
"The generals are out of the town, the loyal ministers and warriors are guarding the inside, Your Majesty is working hard, with the abundance of the people of the Central Plains, within a few decades, the prosperity can be expected. Wang Yu took a sip of tea and moistened his throat, seeing that Zhao Dezhao listened to his analysis of the world's major events quite attentively, he couldn't help but feel a little inexplicably excited and excited, these days, Wang Yu has become more and more like his father dedicated to assisting Zhou Shizong feeling, living in the court, for the emperor's teacher, talking and laughing, governing the country and the country, pacifying the world, and causing a hundred years of peace, as for the original intention of turning to Zhao Dezhao because of the revival of Zoroastrianism, but it has gradually faded.
"The gentleman has talent in his chest, and he has won tens of thousands of elite soldiers. I have to meet Mr., it is really like Henkel's encounter with Zhang Liang, please accept Dezhao's worship. Zhao Dezhao stood up here, and made a gesture to make a long gesture to Wang Yu, Wang Yu hurriedly turned sideways to avoid it, and sighed: "Absolutely not," he paused, and said, "This Cheng is a plan for the survival of the crisis, if His Royal Highness wants to achieve great things, when Corporal Lixian, just treat Yang Yanzhao like this, his father would rather die than surrender, and die of hunger strike in the camp of the Liao, a loyal minister and filial son, if the Yang family helps His Royal Highness, it is the blessing of the society." ”
"There are three main points in the Jinglu Pass, one is to boldly intersperse the cavalry army to suppress and isolate the forbidden troops stationed in the walled forts of various prefectures and counties, and the second is to advance rapidly to seize the Dasan Pass, Hangu Pass, and various passes on the west bank of the Yellow River, and cut off the connection between Guanzhong and the Central Plains and Shuzhong, and the third is to win the hearts of the people in Guanzhong in the shortest possible time. Wu Yingying stood in front of the map of Guanzhong, and explained to the generals with a calm face.
Since Zhang Yongde and Liu Yanrang supported it, Wu Yingying personally came to Lingzhou with the Dragon Tooth Army and the Military Intelligence Department. The news that Cao Han led his army to leave the Xiaoguan camp reached Lingzhou the next day. The Hussar Army, the Lu Army, the White Feather Army, the Flower Hat Army, the Lian Rui Army, the Jinfan Army, the Tayan Army, the Tiger Wing Army, the Same Enemy Army, the Zhige Army, and the Heng Array Army have gathered near Lingzhou one after another, and when the fighters appear, they will wave their troops in Guanzhong. Today is the last meeting of generals before the campaign is launched.
"After breaking through the Xiao Pass, the four armies of hussars, Lu, Tayan, and Zhige roamed between Gyeongju, Qinzhou, Weizhou, Yan'an and Fengxiang, monitoring and suppressing the forbidden army forts stationed at the border of the Song State. General Luo Youtong led the two armies of Tayan and Jinfan to threaten Jingzhaofu, and if the forbidden army of Jingzhaofu dared to go out of the city, he would work with General Xin to defeat it. Zhang Zhongyao, the head of the marching department, slowly repeated the tasks of each army, while Xin Gu, Yu Furenliang and other generals listened attentively.
"At the same time, I led the Flower Hat Army and the Heng Array Army to seize Hangu Pass and block the passage between Guanzhong and the Central Plains," Zhang Zhongyao said in a deep voice, although Hangu Pass is known as a natural danger, but because it has been deep in the hinterland of the Song State for decades, according to the intelligence of the Military Intelligence Department, the defense is extremely lax on weekdays, and Cao Han returned to Bianliang through Hangu Pass, and under the unexpected in-depth raid of the Xia army, it is likely to be taken in one fell swoop. The more important task of the Flower Hat Army and the Heng Array Army was that "after capturing Hangu Pass, the two armies must keep strengthening the pass day and night to prevent the main force of the Song State Forbidden Army from counterattacking Guanzhong." The Bai Yu Army and the Tong Qiu Army were responsible for monitoring other passes along the Yellow River, preventing the Song army from making a detour and sneak attack, and at the same time monitoring the movements of the Zhejia army. ”
"General Xiao led the Lian Rui Army and the Jinfan Army to seize the Dasan Pass, block the Meridian Road, the Baochuan Road, the Fu Luo Road, the Wucang Road, the Jinniu Road, the Rice Grain Road and the Lychee Road, pass through Hanzhong, and cut off the road for the Song army to return to the division in Shuzhong. Xiao Jiu nodded when he heard this, most of the Song army originally stationed in Tunshu had been defeated by the righteous army, and once the grain route and retreat route of the forbidden army that entered Shu to quell the chaos were cut off, it was only a matter of time before the army's morale collapsed. Wu Yingying used him to attack the Dasan Pass, not only to let him finally do a little effort for the homeland of Shuzhong, but also to deal with Shu with Xiao Jiu's prestige in the Jincheng camp.
"Cai Lang led the Tiger Wing Army to stay in Lingzhou to guard against the harassment of the barbarians outside the Saiwai," Zhang Zhongyao smiled slightly, the Tiger Wing Army is a proton army, these noble sons of the river, Wu Yingying didn't want them to suffer heavy casualties before they were completely assimilated in the river. Although Cai Lang asked Wu Yingying, Zhang Zhongyao, Xiao Jiu, and Xin Gu to fight many times on behalf of the Tiger Wing Army, and finally decided to leave them in the rear, the Song people had few cavalry, almost all of them were armored cavalry, and the Tiger Wing Army, which was not mobile enough, was not of much use.
"Please personally command the Dragon Tooth Army to set up a large camp in Jingzhao Mansion and command all the armies to meet the urgent needs. When the situation is stable, coordinate all armies to uproot the walled cities that the Song army held on to one by one. ”
Wu Yingying nodded, seeing that all the generals were clear about the battle plan, he motioned to the director of the Military Intelligence Department to send some security notices to the generals.
This leaflet is all printed in the traditional Chinese characters commonly used in the Song Kingdom, rich in content, varied, not only has the propaganda of the basic policy of the Xia army to treat the people well, but also has some anecdotes about the Xia Emperor Wu Yingying, involving various aspects, such as shooting tigers in the mountains of the south of the Yangtze River, arrows into the stone ridges, which is for some superstitious people to see, and such as the courage to save the old master Cai Yu, who has not committed any crimes against Zhou Houqiu for several years, and helped him and his wife to reunite after breaking the mirror, which is to tell the people that Wu Yingying is not the master of the brutal Hulu, and Wu Yingying personally led the army to restore the Western Regions of the Tang Dynasty, the territory of the river, sowing the prestige of the Chinese country in thousands of miles, which stimulates the sense of identity of the people of Guanzhong who yearn for the prosperous era of the Tang Dynasty to the Xia Kingdom. In order to cooperate with the leaflets, the Military Intelligence Department also recruited a large number of storytellers and small opera troupes, and programmed the stories of Wu Yingying and Xia Guo into more than 20 excerpts.
